BargeOps VGP Compliance

VGP Compliance

BargeOps VGP Compliance Overview

Regulatory compliance on the river is one of many challenges for inland marine operators. The EPA’s regulations related to VGP (Vessel General Permit) are an area that require the regular completion of many different forms with accurate data to ensure compliance.

The BargeOps VGP Compliance module helps fleeting and towing companies comply with the VGP requirements by replacing the very time consuming, paper-driven process (which includes a lot of forms as well as tracking data in various Excel spreadsheets) with forms embedded in BargeOps as part of the routine workflow.
